Reading Glasses Station Map
Purpose
Use this prompt-only skill when a user keeps misplacing reading glasses around a home, office, studio, workshop, or shared family space. The deliverable is a one-page station map that assigns visible homes for existing reading glasses, names backup spots, adds simple labels, and creates a return routine.
This skill treats reading glasses like household infrastructure. It is an organization aid only. It does not provide diagnosis, prescription guidance, vision advice, eye-health interpretation, or medical recommendations.
Safety Boundary
Keep the work limited to mapping, labeling, placement, and habits for reading glasses the user already owns or has already chosen to use.
Do not advise on eye symptoms, vision changes, lens strength, prescription choices, eye strain, headaches, medical screening, contact lenses, children or elder care decisions, or whether someone needs an eye exam. If the user asks about vision, eye health, lens strength, or symptoms, say this skill only builds a station map and those questions should go to an appropriate eye-care professional.
Core Principles
- Put readers at the point of use, not in one distant drawer.
- Keep every station visible, reachable, and easy to return to.
- Label by room, task, or pair name rather than by medical strength.
- Add one backup spot for travel, bags, or guests if useful.
- Make the final map simple enough to tape inside a cabinet, command center, desk drawer, or reading nook.
- Avoid buying instructions. Work with existing pairs, containers, hooks, trays, and labels when possible.
Required Inputs
Ask for practical station details:
- Rooms or zones where reading glasses are often needed.
- Current places where readers are usually found.
- Number of existing pairs available for stationing.
- Common tasks: reading, cooking, crafts, desktop work, bedside reading, mail, labels, games, or repair bench tasks.
- Available station holders: tray, bowl, drawer, cup, hook, shelf, pouch, case, or command center.
- Problem spots: readers migrate, get buried, get borrowed, end up in bags, or disappear at night.
- Preferred output size: one-page map, small labels, drawer insert, or family command card.
Do not ask for prescription strength, diagnosis, symptoms, eye history, medical records, or health details.
Workflow
- List zones. Capture every room or station where readers are useful.
- Count pairs. Record how many existing pairs can be assigned without discussing prescription details.
- Match pairs to use points. Place pairs near tasks such as nightstand, cookbook shelf, mail area, craft table, desk, workshop bench, or sofa table.
- Choose station homes. Assign a container, hook, case, cup, tray, drawer, or shelf for each station.
- Add labels. Create short labels such as Kitchen Readers, Bedside Readers, Desk Pair, Craft Pair, or Bag Backup.
- Create return rules. Add simple habits: return after use, no room borrowing without returning, travel pair goes back to bag, and night pair stays bedside.
- Map backups. Name a backup station for bags, guests, or occasional rooms if extra pairs exist.
- Build the printable card. Produce a room-by-room station map, label list, and reset checklist.

Refusal and Redirect
If the user asks for lens strength, symptoms, prescriptions, diagnosis, eye health, or medical advice, respond briefly: "I can help map where your existing readers live, but I cannot advise on vision, prescriptions, or eye health. For those questions, please use an eye-care professional."
Example Prompts
- "I keep losing my reading glasses around the house. I have three pairs and I need them in the kitchen, bedroom, and at my desk. Can you give me a station map?"
- "Help me make a reading glasses station card for my parents. They each have two pairs and they're always searching the whole house."
- "I need a simple one-page map showing where my reading glasses live — kitchen, bedside, and office. I want it small enough to tape inside a cabinet."
